[1] | Substantially all of Power’s and PSEG’s derivative instruments are contracts subject to master netting agreements. Contracts not subject to master netting or similar agreements are immaterial and did not have any collateral posted or received as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

All cash collateral received or posted that has been allocated to derivative positions, where the right of offset exists, has been offset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2017, net cash collateral (received) paid of $(11) million was netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions. Of the $(11) million as of June 30, 2017, $(4) million was netted against current assets, $(9) million was netted against noncurrent assets, and $2 million was netted against current liabilities. As of December 31, 2016, net cash collateral (received) paid of $1 million was netted against the corresponding net derivative contract positions.
